pdftotext is needed to check if a file is leaked or not.I followed the installation from main page.I installed xpdfreader but when i try to check a leaked file i have the following errors :
./wholeaked -n project1 -f myfile.pdf -validate

Operation started
Couldn't run pdftotext binary
fork/exec /home/koala/Documents/E-book/wholeaked_0.1.0_linux_amd64/pdftotext: permission denied
Like any other package provided by the repositories.
In this case the binary is provided by a package with a different name.
To search for the file in available packages you could:
sudo pacman -Fyx pdftotext
And with that in mind you can install the package:
ex:
sudo pacman -Syu poppler
Or you can use pamac and/or its GUI to find and install the package.
In general, unless you know what you are doing and have a good reason to do otherwise … thats the place you get software - from the repositories.
Note on the linked information:
So … I will point out that pdftotext is actually not a requirement for this software at all.
It is only needed if you intend to use that particular function.
I also have no idea why their suggestion is only to download (and move?) manually the source … maybe its because they only use Debian/Ubuntu and the software is not provided at those repositories?
Thats my best guess. People that write documentation in that way are silly.
The sudo (or root) is needed if the y is there.
And you want the y unless you trust the db is up to date (or even exists).
I reflexively use the x for regex … even when its not needed … but it will allow me to do things like quoted brace expansion (and/or work as expected when searching a path), etc.
